Program KMEC (Kozai Mean Element Converter): The Computation of Kozai Mean Orbital Elements Using a Nonsingular Formulation

Abstract

2A geopotential expressed in, 'terms of a nonsingular set of orbital eleme~nts is used to iteratively compute Kozai mean orbital elements from either Broiwer mean orbital elemntsor iertal scuiaiing Cartesian position and velocity vecOrs.Atog th computational procedure is general in nature, KMEC has been t ijored to generate Kozai mean elemenis afrm4-hti-dretly-appliable-hir-use-fidie MX 1 502-DS and modified TRANET II geoceivers. a-IC/6
